At least Hill will be going the distance

 

[HawkBall23]

A 'not the best' punt rolls into the EZ for a touchback, to keep adding on to the shit pile.

17-0 Tennessee, at least, after this drive.

 

[millah_22]

Why does it look like it’s Hill first game every week, but this Tenn Freshman is already an all-pro?

Bc this freshman was the #2 recruit in the nation and Hill was on his way to Fordham before being poached by Iowa.

 

[HerkysDad]

After today’s display of his football acumen, Brian will need to begin looking into coaching at a Middle School program level. If they would take him.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

go iowa awesome

 

[ClarindaA's]

Another drop Brown

That was Nico

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Kaleb Brown had broken wide open on a slant that would have been beyond the sticks. Hill didn’t even look at him.

 

[like-woahh]

It's adorable that this announcer thinks Iowa is going to throw the ball down field. I remember when I was that young and optimistic, ready to take the world by storm.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

According to Frosty, it would break his confidence and development.

Frosty is one of the biggest dipshits on this board

 

[iahawks10]

At least Hill will be going the distance

Definitely ain’t going for speed

 

[longliveCS40]

“I’m waiting for Iowa to target this freshman in man coverage “ yeah that would make sense dude.

As if Hill could recognize something like that or capitalize on it.

 

[C10dlx]

Iowa’s offense worst in history of college football. It’s too bad because their D is just awesome.

 

[IAHUNTER]

Great coaching

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Iowa defense: paper tigers

Im glad you agree.

Are you still drunk or naturally this stupid?

 

[BubsFinn]

Worst QB in the country, but zero chance anyone else will take a single snap in a meaningless bowl game. And then Kirk will bemoan his backups’ lack of experience.

 

[obfuscating]

F this offensive staff. DH is flat footed in the pocket, not in an athletic position, flat footed.

 

[hawkirugged17]

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I expect him to stick around as long as Bill Snyder did at KSU.

Bill was successful tho

 

[markfromj]

hill on the run, a thing of beauty

Ugly, but for him, I thought he actually did pretty well on that scramble.

 

[LampoonYou]

Can we make the BF termination official at half and kick his butt out the door so he can’t coach the second half? Take the OL coach with him as well.

 

[Tom Paris]

Kirk better not miss on this OC hire or he can pack his bags and GTFO too. Another yes man to implement his vanilla offensive scheme isn't gonna cut it. It's clear athletic skill players aren't attracted to his system. And I'm not convinced Chryst or Philbin will be the breath of fresh air/break from mediocrity we need.

Totally agree and expecting this is what we’re going to get. Minimal change. Continued bad offense.

 

[nu2u]

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Nice 360 spin jump move by Dace. @Moral hacky sack style…

 

[IowaMuse]

That Hill is playing QB for Iowa is a failure of KF and BF on every level. Unfathomable.

Hill can’t go into next season as the backup, right?

 

[win1forthe]

Even the announcers are directly/indirectly calling out the offense. Can’t wait for Constipation Face to leave

i just texted pretty much the same thing to my buddies.

 

[CRazzle]

 

[hawkirugged17]

Our back up can’t even get a snap

 

[ichawks]

Wiscy O running all over LSU to add insult to injury.

Wisconsin is much improved, especially at QB.

 

[HawkBall23]

As if Hill could recognize something like that or capitalize on it.

"_______ was open on the outside, but Hill didn't even look that way."

 

[justinjdry]

 

[iahawkeyes17]

So we play our 4/5 string rb who haven’t played in 8 games but refuse all season to give any other qb a snap besides the inaccurate, turnover machine statue Hill.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I might go mow my lawn anyway. This is ****ing brutal and the refusal to just TRY something else is worse.

 

[bumpstock]

Why does it look like it’s Hill first game every week, but this Tenn Freshman is already an all-pro?

One's a D-1 QB; and, one isn't...

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

A lot of drops by our stellar WR corp

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

It's almost like we're seeing a textbook example that being an immobile, morbidly obese statue with absolutely no touch, ability to read defenses or general feel for the game, is a recipe for bad quarterbacking.

 

[Muscles1989]

An OKAY offensive team could put anyone in the wildcat and still end up scoring points. Iowa chooses to trot out a guy the size of the mascot who can’t move.

 

[desihawk]

can’t wait for iowa to deploy a functional ol and qb. every coach other than Betts and Hodge on the offensive side depresses me with their clownery.
can a new oc make a difference without some new guys?

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]
